An electronic mail (e-mail) discussion list
is a method of "one to many"
communication. Individuals who are "subscribed" to the list can send
an e-mail message to the list. The e-mail message is then duplicated and
sent to all of the other "subscribed" members of the list,
who can then, of course, respond in a similar manner.

For this course we have set up one e-mail discussion list.
This e-mail discussion list is for enquiries on course material, organisation,
new web resources, the software / technology
being used in the course, help on setting up various items of software that will
be used, general advice on technical issues, communication
with other students etc. The discussion list should
be used for any topic which may be of interest to other students.
The course tutors will use the discussion list
for announcements on the release of course materials, course organisation etc.
The e-mail list is therefore primarily meant as a communication medium
for the students. If the students do not contribute messages, there
will be not much to read.

Students will be automatically subscribed to this list based on the e-mail
address supplied to us.
